Air Bag Problems of SAAB 95 - part 1

7/26/22 10:23pm on interstate 25 north of denver mile 249 I was not able to stop and rear ended another vehicle. My air bags did not deploy there were no dash lights indicating any problem with the airbags prior to the accident. My vehicle was not drivable and was towed to h&r towing in johnstown, CO. The only inspection so far has been by an amica insurance adjuster. My set belt pretensioner held me fast but the crown of my head went forward into the visor area I was dazed. I went by ambulance to mcr hospital in loveland diagnosed with a concussion. I had other bruises from the seatbelt and hitting my left knee on the dash. The damage to my car begins at the driver’s side headlamp area and radiates across the font of the car to the headlights on the passenger side. The hood was folded back and there is significant damage to all the components in the front part of the engine compartment. I’ve tried to contact SAAB cars but no response, they stopped building cars in 2011. I tried gm as well, no response.

I had my airbag replaced on recall several years ago. I now have an error alert on my dash indicating an air bag problem. My service technician tells me there are no parts available. What alternatives are available for me, besides drive an unsafe car or junk it (probably illegal to sell ).

Takata recall - I received the attached letter in may, 2016. The vehicle is unsafe to drive. However, gm tells me it's ok to drive. That's not acceptable. Attached is an e-mail string of my correspondence with gm. I can't drive the car, it's in storage; and I can't sell it without full disclosure, which makes it worthless. And it's been six months with no indication that the replacement parts will be available soon.
